Vonn 10th, Mancuso 24th at World Cup Race

Lindsey Vonn managed to expand her lead in the overall World Cup standings on Sunday despite finishing 10th in a giant slalom in which Kathrin Zettel led an Austrian sweep.

With Maria Riesch skiing out in the first run and Anja Paersonplacing 18th after nearly veering off course a few gates from thefinish, Vonn gained points on both of her direct rivals.

"I guess I was ahead of the right people," U.S. skier said."It definitely wasn't the day I was really hoping for, but pointsare points and it was a tough course, a lot of people went out. Itwas important that I got to the finish today."

Vonn leads the overall standings with 882 points, followed byRiesch with 810 and Paerson with 775.

Zettel, who was second after the opening run on the Olympiadelle Tofane course, won in 2 minutes, 47.10 seconds, 1.39 aheadMichaela Kirchgasser and 1.71 better than Elisabeth Goergl.

A blizzard that dumped more than 4 feet of snow on Cortinaearlier in the week made for soft and precarious conditions.

"I took some wider turns so as not to put too much pressure onthe skis," Zettel said. "I didn't always choose the most directline."

In Saturday's downhill, the top Austrian was Ingrid Rumpfhuberin 12th place. It marked the first time after 121 women's downhillsthat skiing's "Wunderteam" failed to place a skier in the top 10.

"It really woke us up," Zettel said. "There was a lot ofteamwork involved today and everything worked to perfection. Wetalked a lot with the coaches and ski men after yesterday and wereally focused."

Both runs were held in sunny and clear conditions.

Vonn was fifth after the opening run, but struggled in thesecond leg.

"I felt like it was going OK, then on the bottom I just got alittle late and I think I dumped some speed for the flats," shesaid. "It was an incredibly turny course and definitely not suitedfor my style."

Vonn finished fourth in a GS in Aspen, Colo., earlier thisseason, but has never cracked the top three in her weakestdiscipline.
